There are many things a mother needs when a baby is born, for her baby and for herself. During the holidays, usually, organizations are looking for food/cloth donations or money. This holiday season my mom came up with a different idea. Project Baby Bundle, making baby gear bundles and donating them to new mothers in need of essentials. These baskets have quality things that moms actually want to use and really need.

The special thing about the project is how we get the baby stuff. Because no one can really afford to just buy expensive things for babies just like that, we came up with a strategy. Every month my mom, my sister, and I combine our love for baby gear and shopping, and search for good quality deals. For example, I was able to get a two pack of Dr. Weis glass baby bottles at Marshall’s for $5.99, this retails on Amazon for $15.99. My mom was able to get 3 piece Carter’s Christmas pajama set for $2.oo (retail is $10.99). At the end of the year we will take everything we have bought, put together a Baby Bundle Basket and donate it. We will put anything to the basket that we find “essential” to a new mommy’s life with child. Some basket include special items, like premature baby clothes. They usually are hard to find, and because parents aren’t usually prepared for them to come so early. We’ll try to get them more clothes than anything else.

We work with different churches and organizations to determine who are in need the most. There are no requirements. Of course if you know of anyone who could use a hand and can benefit from the program, please communicate with me and we can see what can be done for them; just remember, help comes in many forms and you can join in the spirit of this project. This is coming from our hearts and my love for baby stuff, and the amount of things I have accumulated from baby expos, as well as the amazing sales my mom finds. We will try to help as many in need mothers as we can. And if you want to get involved there are different ways to help so don’t be afraid to send a message!

Anyway, I just wanted to put it out there. Again if you want to get involved in any way, even just sending us deal alerts, or know of someone who needs it, let me know.

Thanks for reading. Just wanted to share what I’m up too!

P.S. I will also be posting pictures of the good deals we get and posting them on The Mommy Elf Facebook page.
